Digi-mummies
Chapter two-
Trading Information
By Celestra (Les)
Hi. I feel very, very stupid. You know the ending of chapter one, and
how it sucks? Eh, well I had Writer's Block. Major Writer's Block. And it was
partly because of a little girl known as Samira wouldn't leave me alone. "Are
you done yet? Are you? Wanna play? Are we gonna swim?" She's cute, but very
annoying. I had such a bad Writer's Block, that at the end I forgot to mention I had Writer's
Block! *covers eyes in shame* Hopefully this chapter turned out better.
R&R!
"Rise and shine!" Tai's cheerful voice called through the sunny morning as he kicked dirt over the remaining ashes of the dead campfire from the night before.
"Mumgh," Presley grumbled.
"Awake, o Prince," Armon
spoke.
"Okay. I'm awake."
Presley slowly sat up, and looked around, remembering where he was
as he took in his surroundings: trees, trees, soft earthen ground, trees, blue
cheerful sky, and trees. He remembered that Scarab had trapped him and the
mummies in an illusion and sent them to a strange new world known as the
DigiWorld. There, he and the mummies had met a group of children known as the
Digidestined. They had helped and befriended them. The Digidestined were
partners with the creatures of the world. They were known as Digimon.
The Digidestined had told
them why they were in the DigiWorld, and Presley in turn had told them about
Rapses and Scarab. And yet that wasn't the strangest part.
About a week before he and
the mummies had traveled to the DigiWorld, he had had a strange dream-like
vision that had contained a Digidestined girl known as Elanna. He had it again
and again. He never stopped having it once. And the night before, Elanna had
revealed to him that she had a vision with him in it. Strange.
Perhaps there was spiritual link?
However, he felt very drawn
to the girl, like they were best friends when he was very young and he had
somehow half-forgotten about her. He stiffened with resolve where he sat. He
would find out the truth about her.
Elanna lay beside him, and
she was still asleep. Sora, who lay beside her on her other side, gently shook
her until she mumbled incoherently. "I'm awake. Leave me alone."
"Breakfast!" Sora said
cheerfully, her eyes in the ^ ^ shape.
"Oh. Sorry, Sora." Elanna
sat up and gratefully took the peaches that Sora offered her. Sora turned and
offered a bunch of grapes to Biyomon, who had just wakened.
Elanna took one of her
peaches and put it close to Raimon's paw, so that when she woke she would
something to nibble on.
Presley's stomach grumbled.
He put his hand to it, and moaned softly. He hadn't had anything to eat since
last night. He looked around to see where he might find food, when suddenly a
voice stopped him.
"Here." Presley looked up
and saw the smiling face of Elanna in his vision. His heart thumped painfully,
and his stomach growled again. He looked quietly at Elanna's hand, which held
a peach, that was close to him.
"You must be hungry. Take a
peach," she said. Her voice was soft, so as not to wake the others, though Tai,
Sora and Biyomon were doing a good job at that.
"Are you going to eat that
peach, Presley?" came Armon's voice.
"What? Oh, hi Armon. Sleep
well?" Presley asked, drawn out of his momentary trance. "You can have it."
Elanna stood and gave the
peach to the taller mummy.
"Thank you." He munched the
peach and walked off.
"Here, then, take this
one." Elanna took another peach and tossed it to Presley, who, as soon as he
caught it, he took, a big bite.
"Thanks," he mumbled, his
mouth filled with the sweet-tasting fruit. After he swallowed, he turned to
Elanna, who was just biting into her peach.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Well you just did, but go
ahead."
"May I ask what that is?"
He pointed to the heart-like symbol that hung around her neck.
"Oh. This is my tag and
crest. The crest is this turquoise symbol, and it has my special quality that
represents my soul. The tag protects it. We all have one. See?" Elanna pointed
at Matt, who lay beside Presley, and pointed at the symbol that hung around his
neck.
"Matt has Crest of
Friendship. Tai has the Crest of Courage. Sora has the Crest of Love. Izzy has
the Crest of Knowledge. Mimi has the Crest of Sincerity. Cat has the Crest of
Life. Davis has the Crest of Power. Joe has the Crest of Reliability. TK has
the Crest of Hope. Kate has the Crest of Sacrifice. Kari has the Crest of
Light."
"And yours?" Presley
whispered.
"Mine is the Crest of
Bravery."
"May I see it?"
Elanna didn't respond, she
simply raised the Crest from over her head and handed it to him. Presley eyed
the Symbol of the Crest of Bravery interestingly, remembering only all too well
when this very symbol warped and twisted beyond belief and saved his life. His
finger traced along the heart, than along the inner circles, and then on the
peace lines that separated them all.
"Hey Presley! Do you have
anything to eat?" Nefertina called.
"Oh, hey Nefertina. No, I
don't. Have you got any peaches left, Elanna?"
Elanna checked. "No, I
don't. Hey, Sora! Pass a peach!"
"Sorry, there are none
left!" Sora called. "I have grapes though."
"Okay." Sora tossed a bunch
of grapes into the air, and as Elanna ran to catch them, there was a flash and
the grapes were seen no more. Instead, Matt stood, slightly to the side, his
head tilted towards Elanna. His face wore a grin and his eyes twinkled.
"Interception!" he called.
"Hey!" Elanna wore a smile
and a slight pout. "Those aren't for me, you know."
"Who are they for?" Matt
asked.
"Nefertina." Elanna
answered, gesturing to behind her, where Nefertina stood, her hands on her hips
and a slight smile on her face.
"Catch!" Matt tossed them
towards her in an effortless attempt. Nefertina caught it and popped some grapes
into her mouth. "Thank you!" she called. She waved.
"Are you still hungry?"
Elanna turned and asked Presley.
"Oh, nah."
"I am," Armon said. He
sounded reproachful. "One peach is just not enough!" Matt laughed. "Here, take
mine." Matt passed his un-eaten peach to Armon. "Thank you."
Matt put his arm around
Elanna. "Did you have the vision again?" he asked concernedly.
"Yeah."
At first Presley was
confused, but than he remembered how she had said she had had recently had
visions too. He was still having his visions. He felt . . . connected to Elanna
somehow. He remembered how she had said that she had sensed that his soul truly
was the ancient Egyptian one of Rapses. Unconsciously, he looked down at his
Eye of Ra amulet. It seemed like just yesterday he had found out the truth
about him.
Elanna noticed his gaze and
looked at his amulet. "Can I see it?"
"See what?"
"Your amulet. Your Eye of
Ra amulet."
"How did you know it's an
Eye of Ra amulet?" Presley asked, stupefied.
"I love ancient Egypt. It's
the coolest. It's one of the only school lessons I listen to. I know more
Egyptian gods than my teacher does."
A/N: Remember, Yokata? I think I scared Fahmy, and Michelle looked incredibly pissed off. And weirdly enough, during the Pharoah lesson, I doodled Presley? Heheh.
"I remember when you
reported them," Kate spoke.
"Hey! I thought you were
asleep!" protested Matt.
"Ha, well I'm not so there,
Yamato!"
Presley remembered his
resolve to find out the truth. He looked at Elanna, who had turned and was
chatting noncommittally with Armon. By the sound of it, she too thought about
how impossible it was for a mummy to eat though the stomach was taken out.
"Elanna, can I speak with
you?"
"Yeah, sure." She peered at
him with curious eyes.
"Alone," he said, whilst
glaring at Armon as he looked back with curious eyes and a slight smile.
"Oh. Okay. Call if you need
us." Matt said.
"What does he mean by
that?" Presley asked once Matt, Kate and Armon had left.
"He means in case an evil
digimon attacks," Elanna explained.
"Digimon?"
"Like Raimon." Elanna
gestured to her sleeping digimon, who remained asleep. "The digimon. Wake *up*,
Presley."
"Gee, I must have hit my
head!" Presley joked. Abruptly, he changed the subject. "You know those
visions?" He asked. "How could I forget?" Elanna sat down, her back against a
tree. She hugged her knees to her chest, and closed her eyes for a minute,
looking deeply in resolve. Suddenly, she popped her eyes open again. "So,
Scarab actually tries to take your soul?"
It was Presley's turn to
sit with his back against a tree, knees to his chest, his eyes closed in soft
sadness. "Yes. If he would ever manage
to successfully take my soul then he would become immortal. He'd also receive a
great power. He'd cause destruction, and like any villain, he'd attempt to take
over the world."
"Will you die if takes your
soul?" Elanna asked softly, her blues eyes losing their regular light.
Presley sighed. "No. I'd
have regular old Presley Carnovan's soul back. Of course, Scarab would probably
destroy me with the new power added to his own. I've got him really pissed
off."
"I know how you feel," she
whispered.
Presley opened his eyes.
His green eyes blazed into an emerald fire, his expressionless mouth suddenly
twisting into a deep frown.
"How could you know how I
feel?! I'm running from Scarab nearly every five minutes! Gods come through the
Western Gate at regular intervals! I'm constantly attacked by stupid clay men
made by Scarab! I never get time to myself. I spend nearly no time as Presley
Carnovan, always Rapses. I'm hardly ever with my mom or my friends. The mummies
are now nearly all I have." The sob in Presley's voice was almost impossible to
miss.
"You think I don't know you
feel?! At least you get to stay in your own world! I was at summer camp with a
few of my friends and suddenly we got whisked off to a strange world and we
couldn't even complain about. We're expected to save this world, and the Real World too! We're
constantly attacked by evil digimon. And then we had to go back to the other
world to save some other kids, an entire city, the WORLD even by Myotismon! The
Entire World, and the Digiworld depends on us, and we're almost as good as DEAD
to the Dark Masters. All we have is each other." One tear dripped down Elanna's
face, then another and another. Tear after tear streamed down her face.
Presley looked at her,
deeply amazed. The Digidestined had been through more than he thought, and he
had the feeling that Elanna hadn't even told him half of it. Awkwardly, he put
an arm on Elanna's shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll figure out how to defeat
Scarab and Metalwhat-sis.
"Metalseadramon," laughed
Elanna, their hearts united as one.
* * *
"I can't see or hear
anything at all. Can you?"
"You know, they did want it
to be a private conversation," Matt frowned at the dark-haired Kate, who
desperately tried to peek around a tree near the grove of trees that Presley
and Elanna had disappeared into without getting caught by either Presley or
Elanna.
"Aren't you the slightest
bit curious in what they're talking about?" Kate asked, slightly put out.
"No. If Presley needs to
talk to Elanna then it's their private business." Matt frowned again,
his blue-grey eyes flashing like blue lights of dawn.
"Maybe Presley's
proclaiming his loooooooooooooooove for her," Kate swooned, dancing around Matt
in an annoying fashion.
"Did anyone ever tell you
that you're weird?"
"Yep, lot's of people!
Including this real b-"
"Don't swear, TK might
hear!" Matt shrilled, pushing Kate hard.
Kate glared at Matt,
rubbing at her sore shoulder. "Sorry. Including somebody known as Jenny.
I hate her."
"But the point is, she's
not here right now."
Suddenly, rustlings were
heard from the direction of the grove. Kate moved distinctly backwards in fear,
her gloved hand close to her mouth. "You don't think an evil digimon got them?"
Kate asked, frightfully looking at Matt. Matt looked horrified. "Don't say
things like that!"
Matt paused. More rustlings
ensued, closer this time. Matt steeled himself. "I'm going to check." However, at that precise moment, Elanna and
Presley pushed their way through the low shrub that seemingly guarded the
entrance to the grove. "Hey, what's up?" Presley asked cheerfully.
Elanna scanned the faces of
her friends. Matt's face was etched with worry, while Kate's face held slight
traces of fear and tenseness.
"What's wrong? Did
something attack while we were gone?" Elanna asked, her voice laced with
concern for her two close friends. The worried look on Matt's face disappeared
and was immediately replaced with a smile. "We thought that the rustling noises
was something attacking you guys."
The smile on Matt's face
quickly turned itself into a short laugh while pointed at Kate with a thumb.
"And Peeping Tomasina here
was trying spy on you!"
Kate grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry." Elanna rolled her eyes at the obvious impatience of her friend while
Presley merely shrugged. "No problem. No harm done. I do it too!"
Kate rounded on Matt,
pointing a finger close to his face in "parental" gesture. "See, Matt? I'm not
the only one who does it!"
Presley laughed, then
walked off, calling over his shoulder," I'm going to help Tai and Sora wake up
the rest of the group!"
"You know, I think I'll go
pester Lasdamon. See ya!" Kate waved, then ran off to find the purple cat-like
digimon.
Matt embraced Elanna
slightly, the taller boy whispering down to her ear. "I was worried," he
mumbled.
Elanna gently tore herself
away from him, looking up at him with an innocent smile. "We are fine, Yamato."
* * *
" This . . . is . . . not .
. . FAIR!!!!!!" Scarab screamed in pure anger. Even his pure
white skin – wrinkled and white with age – turned red. Heka quickly slithered
to the potted plant by the corner. She slithered through a gap and found the
potted plant in front of her as a shield and the wall behind her for support.
Just why Heka needed a shield became apparent in a few moments, for just then
did Scarab hurl object after object in any which way.
An expensive blue porcelain
vase from the Ming Dynasty was chucked across the room and shattered against
the wall with a sickening crash. An even older, and more costly vase from the
time of Ancient Greece was flung right out of Scarab's open office window.
Ancient Egyptian scrolls
made out of what once was the most luxurious papyrus were crushed into a fine
powder by Scarab's angered fist. A small potted petunia was chucked across the
room, among other items. After about five minutes, Heka peeked out from under
her tail to see Scarab still burning with anger, and a fine cloud of dust
floating over the pile of objects Scarab had pitched across the room.
"You done, boss?" Heka
asked.
"Not quite," Scarab
replied.
With that, he picked up an
un-set alarm clock that served as the office's timepiece and promptly lobbed it
Heka, who was just slithering out of her hole-up.
"EOOWWTCH! My snout! Watch
where you're aiming, Scarab!"
"I was aiming, Heka.
I'm a good shot, even if I do say so myself."
Heka groaned piteously and
rubbed her snout with her tail, looking quite pathetic coming from a golden
cobra, King of Snakes.
"Hush up, you baby," Scarab
growled, obviously still fuming.
"Baby? Me? But weren't you
the one who just threw a tantrum? And anything else that was handy, too.
Anyways, why are so steamed? I haven't seen you this mad since your plot
to become Pharaoh backfired and you were entombed alive for it."
"Remember when we created
portal to the Digiworld, disguised as a Beefy Burger?"
"One of the best plans!"
Heka hissed enthusiastically.
"My scurrying magic should
be able to locate him unless he's left the city somehow!"
"Well, maybe the Prince was
with the mummies and was taken to the Digiworld too."
"Of COURSE that's what
happened, you baka! Now we'll have to go in after him!"
"Two questions, Scarab.
First, what's a baka? Second, Do I haaaaaaaaaaaave to come?"
"I'm surrounded by fools."
Scarab muttered.
* * *
Rath awoke to the smell of
dewed grass in a lustful canopy of trees. Feeling eyes on him, he twisted his
body to face the other way, rustling the hastily made bed of grass while doing
so. There, he saw eyes of pretty hazel looking at him in a feeling suggesting care
to an injured one. "How did you sleep?" Cat, the owner of the hazel eyes,
asked.
" Why are you sitting here,
watching me?" Rath answered her question with another. "I wasn't watching you.
You stirred so I came to see how you slept. It's a habit. Well?"
"Alright, I suppose."
Something in Rath's mind stirred. Sleep . . . Sleep was so much like death, he
pondered. Death . . . Rath jolted. How were the mummies going to recharge?!
"Excuse me! I must see the
scribe known as Izzy!"
"You mean Izzy, resident
computer genius of the Digiworld?" Cat asked, laughing.
"Whatever you call it in
this time!" Rath yelled, jumping up to seek the red haired adolescent.
Cat paused for a moment,
watching the mummy adorned in gold and green run off to inquire about Izzy. ". . . weird . . ." She laughed.
* * *
"Ssssssssssssssso . . . how
did you convince me to go along with it?" Heka asked within a dog carrier which
rested near Scarab's desk, as Scarab himself flitted among shelves, his voice
heard mumbling whispers," Where is it, oh WHERE is it!. . . "
"How did you get me to go
along with it?!" Heka asked again.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Scarab said, acknowledging the coiled golden serpent the second time around.
"COME! COME! How did you
get me to COME?!?!?!" Heka screeched.
"You didn't have to yell,
Heka. I'm old, not deaf. Now, calmly repeat what you said." Scarab glared at
Heka piercingly.
Heka, now thoroughly teed
off by being ignored by her superior, took a deep breath and garbled out," How
did you manage to convince me to go with you to the Digiworld?"
Scarab smirked at Heka, the
evil-looking grin play upon his ancient features. "I didn't convince you. I hit
you on your head and stuffed into the dog carrier before you awoke and started
to complain." Scarab spoke this last word with a hissing sound.
"Well, when are we leaving?"
she asked, her voice clearly being evidence to fact that she was perfectly
comfortable staying in the pyramid-shaped that Scarab had made his office, and
indeed, living quarters.
"As soon as I find where
that blasted scroll went! It has the chant that I need to intone in order to
get to the Digiworld after that pesky prince!" Scarab roared.
Heka grinned very slyly. "Is
this the scroll, perhaps, that you're looking for?" For right inside the
dog carrier itself was the same paper that named the Digiworld and it's
properties. It also contained the chant used to open a portal there.
"Ah, thank you, Heka. I'll
just take the scroll and recite the chant-"
"No." Heka almost ridiculed.
"Let me out of this irritating dog cage and I'll let you have the paper."
"If I let you out, you'll
slither away and hide so you won't have to come!"
"I swear I won't! You know
how I just hate being cooped up in small areas. The dog carrier and the tomb
included!"
"Fine, but keep in mind
that if you do slink away, Ammut will have a new chew toy. YOU!"
Heka gulped. "I guarantee."
Scarab used his magic to
form the shape of a key, which he punctually used to unlock the cage.
"Free!" Heka cried joyously
upon release. She slithered around in a small circle once, and then looked up
at an impatient grunt and edgy tap of a foot from her master.
"Oh, right . . . " She
quickly raced back to dog carrier and returned with the scroll clenched in her
teeth.
Scarab took the scroll and looked down to it, where strange sounding words were written. He walked in front the computer, first picking up Heka by the neck and holding her in her position as a staff. Stepping closer to the computer, Scarab cleared his throat and spoke clearly,
" Densetsu Doragon Dejitaru,
Watashi namae Scarab. Boku kuyo naka Mon Dejitaru. Boku atarashii kuroi!"
The chant was dark near the end, if translated to proper English.
The screen on the computer
turned completely black at Scarab's words, twisting and distorting with other
colors with small Japanese characters flying around. A fierce grey wind swirled
out of the computer, enveloping Scarab and Heka in it. The wind sucked back
into the computer; with Scarab and Heka still it's grasp.
Scarab and Heka fluttered
through the Digital Gate, noting the churning colors and the long colored
strands of DNA and data.
* * *
"Everyone over here!" Izzy's
voice called through the placid calmness of the trees as Rath, Armon, Nefertina
and Jakal stood beside him, each fingering their respective animal amulets.
Slowly, sleepy kids arrived, rubbing their eyes, while the fully awake children
lumbered by in obvious befuddlement. The digimon followed their individual
partners, where they all gathered around Izzy and the mummies.
"Anyone want to explain what's
going on?" Davis asked tartly, annoyed at being wakened so early.
"Rath has just informed me
that they need to find away to recharge."
Tai arched an eyebrow."
Care to explain to us simple folk?" He asked in a sarcastic tone.
Izzy's eyes changed into
the ^ ^ form, a childish smile on his face. He placed an arm behind the back of
his neck. "Oops, sorry. Rath had me wrapped up in what he was stating, so I
assumed you knew what I meant. Err, no pun intended . . . Jakal, why don't you
explain?"
"And why shouldn't I
explain?" Rath said icily.
"Because your intellect,
which is as high as mine, would obviously explain it in words too difficult for
them."
"Ah."
Presley could've sworn he
saw the faint indentations of a smile tugging at Rath's mouth . . .
At that moment, Jakal clarified
"recharging". "We have these amulets which represent special animal armor. For
example, mine is the falcon. Nefertina's is the cat, Rath's is the cobra and
Armon's is the ram. In order to obtain these armors, we must shout, "With the
strength of Ra". However, if we run out of energy in order to keep the armor
here, we must go to our sarcophagi in order to recharge our energy. Being away
from our sarcophagi for too long means we can't transform into our armor.
Without the armor, we can't protect the prince."
"Simple terms, huh?" Kate
spoke with a raised eyebrow and a grin. "Written down, that would be a whole
paragraph!"
"Yes, but it was simple!" beamed
Tentomon.
All looked up at sudden
sounds of feverish typing. Izzy had sat down, opening is laptop case and going
into full computer-mode.
"Are we going through this again?"
Palmon protested.
Izzy looked up briefly. "Sorry,
Palmon, but I have to figure out what kind of resolution would be effective in
recharging and utilizing the armor. You know how imperative it is to keep
Presley out of harms' way. Particularly since it won't take Scarab long to
realize Presley is here. Surely if he opened the Digital Gate to bring the
mummies here in the first place he can find a way to travel here himself."
For Izzy, time had stopped.
He went back to typing. He
had a theory, but it was definitely a long shot . . . Desperately, he clicked
the "history" button on his laptop. If he was right . . . Izzy scanned the long
line of places he had been to recently. Abruptly, he stopped, seeing strange characters
on the list: ↓↓↓↓↓♣↓⌡↓↓↓↓☻↓☻↓↓S
"What on Earth does this stand for?" Izzy thought. Curiously, he clicked the strange bunch of characters.
Instantly, his screen became black and turquoise, thin twisted streams color
dancing among white Japanese letters. It was so memorizing, yet Izzy couldn't
think properly when the screen taunted him with the knowledge yet he couldn't
travel there himself to discover the secret awareness.
He
pressed the back button so that he could think accurately. The thin twisted
streams of color that danced on the screen seemed so familiar . . . He knew he
had seen them before . . . Somewhere
that had to do with information . . .
The
name Major Science popped into his brain. It
was the name of science textbook he had owned so long ago. Suddenly he knew the
answer!
The
thin twisted color streams were DNA strands. The strange characters, Izzy found
out by looking closely, meant "Digital Gate Opened". The S probably stood for
Scarab.
Izzy
clicked the S. Apparently, the S was separated from the rest of the characters.
In clicking the S, Izzy rapidly found himself in Scarab's computer mainframe.
This was how he opened the gate although how he opened the gate was not
revealed. Going back again, Izzy clicked on the characters. He a plan. He was
back on the black and turquoise screen, with the DNA. When they moved around
the screen, they were no longer taunting him but beckoning him to finally find
the secret.
His
hand shaking, Izzy clicked on a turquoise strand of DNA. The next thing that
appeared on the screen was the fake/illusion Beefy Burger. A screeching sound
emitted from the yellow laptop, and suddenly, an overhead view of the Sphinx
that the mummies occupied appeared. Another screech sounded, and abruptly, Izzy
had a face-to-face view the four sarcophagi propped against the wall. Izzy
quickly froze the screen, lest the laptop screeched again and another image
came up.
"Look
at this!" he cried. Everyone crowded around the computer. Presley whistled
softly. "How did you get and image of inside the sphinx?"
"This
isn't an image! This is the sphinx! Listen to this. All computers are
connected, right? Well, considering I have the only computer in the Digital
World, when Scarab opened the gate, my laptop immediately became connected to
his! I can even access his mainframe. However, when he opened the gate, it
became recorded in his history section – and mine as well. Strange characters appeared,
and they were actually a link to a virtual gate! I clicked on some DNA, which
actually belongs to you when you traveled through the gate. The DNA led me
straight to your sarcophagi!"
"But
how does that let them recharge? It's an image!" Biyomon squawked in objection.
"Watch
this." Izzy replied. He clicked on the fourth sarcophagus that pictured Bastet –
the sarcophagus belonging to Nefertina. Another screech ensued, and an inside
view of Nefertina's sarcophagus appeared, complete with an energy bar. The energy
bar seemed to show how much energy Nefertina currently had in store for her
armor. The bar read zero.
"Nefertina,
can you hand me your amulet for a moment?"
"What
for?"
"You'll
see in a minute."
Nefertina
took her cat-shaped amulet over her head and handed it to Izzy, a perplexed
look on her face.
Izzy
took the amulet and put it in the slot that Gennai had inserted into the laptop
for the digivice; it was used to analyze digimon, but not for this particular task.
There was a blinding flash of red and turquoise light as the DNA from the
laptop and the DNA of the amulet met. Izzy then took the amulet out and handed
it back to Nefertina, saying,
"
I've fixed the problem. Now, whenever you sleep you will become completely
recharged. And you're completely recharged right now, as an added bonus!" Izzy
allowed himself a grin.
Nefertina's
smile was bright and her eyes shone like two stars. "Thank you so much! I could
kiss you!"
"Please
don't." Izzy reddened considerably before turning to Rath, Jakal and Armon. "If
you would allow me to do the same thing to your amulets, you'll have your armor
energy restored and will be able to recharge whenever you sleep."
"Of
course." Jakal's smile was kind. "Thank you for helping us so much." He handed
his falcon amulet to Izzy.
Izzy
speedily pressed the back button so that all four sarcophagi were seen in the
front again. He clicked on the first sarcophagus that had the image of Horus
painted on it – Jakal's. He inserted the amulet into the slot again, and
everything was the same as Nefertina's except that a bright red and blue light
flashed blindingly.
This
sequence was repeated with Rath, whose light flashed a bright green and yellow,
and again with Armon, though his light was a brilliant purple and yellow.
Although
the mummies had just ridden of one the many problems in their path, Scarab
plotting more.
TO BE CONTINUED!
This seems well . . . Let me explain something, though. This chapter was supposed
to have a key moment of the plot in it, but it was getting long, so be aware –
in the third chapter, a strange connection will occur.
This happens to be one of the rare times when
I actually include a disclaimer *sweatdrop*
Disclaimer: I don't own Mummies Alive or
Digimon (How I wish I did) In fact, the only things I own are Elanna, Raimon,
Cat and Foximon. Kate and Lasdamon are owned by Yokata, so I suggest you ask
her before using them.
I also own this storyline. I've worked on it
for a long time, so don't take it, or I will sick a sugar loving, Tai-Ken-Davis
addicted chibimon named Guru on you. Ja!
